Is it possible to work two remote salaried jobs, without the HRs / accountants / payroll finding out about the other job?
I know it’s going to be a hassle to move around meetings and stuff, so it’s definitely risky.
For reference I am in Canada. And I wouldn’t mind working from Mexico!!
Don’t be a fucking asshole by taking on two FTE roles and deliberately half-assing them.
I found out someone on my team was doing this and fired them immediately, then discussed with legal about going after half of their paid wages.
Just become a contractor with multiple clients. You know… like a non-asshole.
You are the reason anti-moonlighting policies exist.
So you’re a piece of shit, to be clear.
Worthless feedback from a toxic troll.
This is why they are making us come back into the office!!
I’m never going back to an office, ever.
Only lasted a single year and that was the worst depression in my life.
Alpha male move IMO. Have a list of excuses for meeting conflicts
Lol yeah and switch between which job I give which excuse, need a spreadsheet
i do that, but have two 50% positions and they both know about each other
I’m talking about two full time remote jobs, so they can’t know about each other
I don’t understand what the last paragraph has to do with the first paragraph??
However the answer to your question is that several people have done this. It was going on a lot during the pandemic. It is highly unethical but it can be done.
Why is it unethical? I see myself as a business and it is normal for businesses to have more than one customer. If I meet the needs of my customers then why should one customer care how many other customers I have.
If you present it that way in the interview and your employer knows you are doing other work, then I would agree, if you are upfront about it. If that’s your business model.
I don’t really care if you agree or not.
Slave masters don’t like sharing
Because of IP ownership. Clearly the poster plans to work the same role and pawn some portion of their work off to two companies. Who owns the output then.
Companies have multiple customers because of contracts. Contractors can have multiple customers. And customers can’t advise them on their use of time, or they risk the IRS considering it employment instead.
What is unethical about this? Given all work is getting done effectively and on time
Potential conflicts of interest, noncompete clauses, confidentiality and data security issues.
It may be contrary to contractual agreements, I don’t think ethical is the right word here. Given the asymmetrical risks that employees face, it’s only rational that some workers seek to risk hedge by holding multiple jobs (I’ve been laid off twice in the last 12 months). Is it illegal ? Maybe depends on your terms and jurisdictions. Is it unethical? Depends on your view but I don’t think it’s a clear cut “THIS IS BAD”
What kind of jobs?, I assume this will happen in different companies, right?
Yeah two different companies. Marketing so it’s not super focus intensive like coding for example. Kinda set and forget but the meetings might conflict at times…
